A free account lets you scan your phone for malware, back up and restore your data online, and use GPS to locate your phone should it ever get lost or stolen.
Lookout has even been in the news for helping someone recover a stolen phone. The latter gives you a detailed look at which apps can access certain information, such as location and identity information, and outlines the risks of having such applications on your phone. If you lose your phone, you run the risk of having your identity stolen. Sure, you can set up a lock pattern, but we have seen such measures circumvented in the past.
And the free version's ads and constant nags to upgrade are annoying and intrusive. Users of either paid plan also get additional anti-theft features, an app locker and tech support. Read our full Avast Mobile Security review. Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus, also known as Kaspersky Internet Security for Android, offers nearly-perfect malware protection, a small system impact and a call blocker that actually works.
There are no ads in the free version, and not much nagging to upgrade to the paid plan. Free users get call filtering, Android Wear support and a strong set of anti-theft functions, but you have to scan each new app manually.
Paying users get automatic scans of new apps, an app lock and blocking of known phishing websites. And that's about it. There's no Wi-Fi network scanner and none of the privacy tools that other Android antivirus apps now offer. If you're just looking for malware protection, you can't really go wrong with Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus's free tier.
Read our full Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus review. Lookout Mobile Security, now rebranded as Lookout Security and Antivirus or Lookout Personal, was one of the first Android antivirus apps, and for a long time the best. Its ease of use, clean interface and lack of ads explain its continued popularity. But Lookout's costs can rack up quickly. The free tier is bare-bones; it just scans for malware and locates lost phones.
An unlimited VPN and a data-breach notification service make the premium price worthwhile. It might well be worth the expense. The trouble is that Lookout doesn't often submit its app to third-partly lab evaluations, so we don't really know how well Lookout protects against malware.
Its active scans are also slow and heavy. Like Avast, McAfee offers or used to offer a ton of useful features, but its free version is also full of ads and upsell suggestions. The malware protection is decent, if not fantastic. It's not really clear why this was done, other than to "adjust our product portfolio. You'll get some good stuff with the free version of McAfee Mobile Security, such as a way to track each app's data usage and a Wi-Fi security scanner.
You can get one of the best VPN services to cover all your devices for less. Read our full McAfee Mobile Security review. Google Play Protect comes built into every Android device that runs Google Play, and it would be great if it worked well. Unfortunately, Google Play Protect's dismal malware detection makes the strongest possible argument for using a third-party Android antivirus app.
We did like that Google Play Protect's interface is minimal, there are no ads and the system impact is light. Some of Android's other built-in features, including Find My Device and Chrome Safe Browsing, mirror what third-party antivirus apps do on the side.
Google Play Protect's best feature is that Google can use it to remotely disable dangerous apps. This stays the case whether you're running third-party antivirus software or not. We recommend you not disable Google Play Protect. But overall, Google Play Protect is awful at protecting you from malicious apps. For your own sake, please use something else.
